The transcription factor sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)-1c is intimately involved in the regulation of lipid and glucose metabolism. To investigate whether mutations in this gene might contribute to insulin resistance, we screened the exons encoding the aminoterminal transcriptional activation domain, in a cohort of 85 unrelated human subjects with severe insulin resistance. Two missense mutations (P87L and P416A) were found in single affected patients but not in 47 control subjects. However, these variants were indistinguishable from the wild-type in their ability to bind DNA or to trangactivate an SREBP-1 responsive promoter construct. We also identified a common intronic single nucleotide polymorphism. (C/T) located between exon 18c and 19c. In a case-control study of 517 U.K. Caucasian case subjects and 517 age- and-sex-matched control subjects, the T-allele at this locus was significantly associated with type 2 diabetes in men (odds ratio=1.42 [1.11-1.82], P=0.0015) but not women. In a separate population-based study of 1,100 Caucasians, carriers of the T-allele showed significantly. higher levels of total and LDL cholesterol (P
